assign participants a wordpress role

  • Hi!

    I’ve been googline for a couple of hours about this and didnt find anything.. well.. somehow related but not precisely what I was looking for.

    Is it possible to assign a user role (ie subscriber role) to all the members of a participants database? My goal is to push an email notification when a new post is published to all the participants. I already installed a plugin called “Post Notification by Email” but I cannot find any role assigned to the members therefore they are not getting any notifications.

    Thanks in advance!

    Take a look at this article:

    Hi! Thanks! I already saw that article, added the hidden field and updated. I still cannot see any users under wordpress users menu. Or is it that from now on, users will be shown upon new registrations. What happens with the already registered participants?

    What the tutorial shows is how to assign Participants Database records to a WordPress user. It does not go into the process of using Participants Database to create WP users, that is something you will need to set up yourself.

    There is an action that is triggered when a signup is submitted pdb-after_submit_signup that you can use to create a WP user with the submitted info.

    thanks again! But there is no signup form. The current participants database acts as a local lawyers directory where internet users can look for someone and call him/her. The list is privately managed. It will be a huge effort for an administrative person to not only fill in the participants list but also, create a new wordpress user just for assigning a wp user role. That’s all what I need. If a role is assigned for the participants, I will be more than happy so I can use multiple other plugins to achieve other actions based on their role.
